businesses, the Temple Telegram, parents -they were all a part of it. The Tlwhich included 22 male and female 'yellow passes, three bell schedules: 3:20 dismissal, homeroom schedule, and 2:30 for one step yet too small for two steps, a THS, the only high school in a town with a population over 47,800, was not a part of the town -the town was a part of it. THS' 2600 students received support and encouragement both athle- tically and academically from local interested Temple residents, and 5200 school faculty consisted of 130 teachers coachesl, two nurses, a psychologist, four .parking lot attendants, 14 custo- dians and a head custodian, whose office was located behind the student center, and20 cafeteria workers. THSwas second period announce- ments, hard-to-find parking places, dismissal, which was everybody's favorite, front steps which were too big math building that was located too far from the main building, and l.D. cards which were mandatory, yet rarely used. It was a place for faded Levi's, four-inch platforms, T-shirts, cowboy boots, PBJ outfits, Adidas, Clearasil, and ph balancing shampoos. The halls were always congested, long lines formed at .

Temple was not a big city, but it was not a small town either. It was free of air pollution and traffic jams fexcept for the mad rush and congestion in the THS , parking lot between 3:20 and 3 :30i, yet it was home to 92 major corporations, four hospitals, over 62 restaurants and eating places, a multi-million dollar mall, and a high school with an enrollment of over 2600 students. Temple was often sarcastically referred to as the entertainment center of the South . Although it was never the setting for a Ronnie Milsap or KISS con- cert, it did have its own sites of enter- tainment. Temple was dancing to The Moods, sitting at Safeway, jumping off the cliffs at Cedar Ridge, watching R movies at Showtown, playing Sunday afternoon unorganized football games, munching down at Giovanni's and Mr. Gatti's, trying to pass for eighteen at the package stores at the lake, blowing money at Yesterday's, cruising Sonic, and humming around at Temple Mall.
